“What happened Monday?”
“She came to call on me.”
“Does she do that often?”
“Don’t be silly. It was the first time I’d seen her since my marriage.”
“She’s been living here in Los Angeles?”
“No, New York.”
“And what happened?”
“She came to Los Angeles and wondered about me. She’d found her marriage was unhappy, and gone ahead and secured a divorce. She didn’t know whether I was still living with Mabel. She wanted to find out. She looked up my office and simply walked in.”
“Did you put on the clinch in front of your secretary?”
“No. I was so surprised I was all but speechless. Then Miss Dearborne closed the door and Dolly — well, Dolly was glad to see me.”
